# What are GADTs?

[GADTs: A primer](https://sketch.sh/s/yH0MJiujNSiofDWOU85loX/)

# Why

Differently from normal lenses/optics the following approach allows for composing "lenses" into lists/arrays which is them useful for things like https://github.com/rescriptbr/reschema

# Install

Install the last stable version

For ReScript

```

npm install --save-dev lenses-ppx@latest

or

yarn add lenses-ppx@latest -D

```

For BuckleScript < 6

```

npm install --save-dev [email protected]

or

yarn add [email protected] -D

```

# Build

```

npm run build

```

# Watch

```

npm run watch

```

In

```rescript

module StateLenses = %lenses(

  type state = {

    email: string,

    age: int,

  }

)

```

Out

```rescript

module StateLenses = {

  type state = {

    email: string,

    age: int,

  }

  type rec field<_> =

    | Email: field

    | Age: field

  let get:

    type value. (state, field) => value =

    (state, field) =>

      switch field {

      | Email => state.email

      | Age => state.age

      }

  let set:

    type value. (state, field, value) => state =

    (state, field, value) =>

      switch field {

      | Email => {...state, email: value}

      | Age => {...state, age: value}

      }

}

```

Using

```rescript

open StateLenses

let state = {email: "[email protected]", age: 969}

Js.log(state->get(Email))

Js.log(state->get(Age))

```

Alternatively you can also use it like

```rescript

@lenses @decco

type bartux = {

  color: string,

  top: int,

}

let bartux = {color: "red", top: 10}

Js.log(bartux->bartux_get(Color))

Js.log(bartux->bartux_set(Top, 20))

Js.log(bartux_encode(bartux))

```

Alternatives

- https://github.com/scoville/re-optic/blob/master/docs/lenses-ppx.md which is more strict and follows more closely Optics standards
